This latest CD by the "León de la Salsa" will not leave his faithful fans desillusioned! They will find that unique voice, the one that earned him the well-deserved moniker of "Sonero del Mundo". This CD is full of surprises!

It opens with a song that will surely be a hit on the radio stations, "Cómo olvidarte." In actuality, this album has two versions of this song, the first in a salsa rhythm and the second (track number nine) is a bolero interpretation with romantic guitars and piano.

The next track is "La Mazucamba," a very lively cumbia with a catchy melody and chorus that is easy to sing along with (Chiqui-chiqui-chá!), which is also destined to become a hit! It has a great brass section!

The tune, "Señora," surprises us byb by starting out with a bit of rap, but later slides into a sensual salsa, sultry, sexy, with percussion and the typical trombones, but underneath there is a soft guitar accompaniament, almost melancholic, asking LIFE to take pity on the Señora.

The track, "Amor Verdadero" begins like a romantic bolero with guitar and piano in the background, then changes to a salsa, and goes back to a bolero rhythm. It is a beautiful tune to listen to, but very difficult to dance to.

In the song, "Ya lo verás," there is a piano solo that has a tumbao that almost sounds Cuban! The trumpets, trombones, choruses and Oscar's voice are all on fire!

This album even has a Vallenato! Oscar is very well-loved in Colombia and I know that at the end of 2002 he spent some time in Cali where he even visited a home for Desplazados (those folks who have lost everything due to the guerillas). This song from a relatively unknown author, Sara Caballero, was included as a result of a chance encounter. Oscar met the author of this song in Miami when he was in town.

The last song on this album is called, "Bailando con ella," and it is one of the typical best songs of Oscar, with tumbao and very danceable!

It's been a while since Oscar has put out an album, but this one was worth the wait!
